VALUE OF SALT.

The Many Ways in Which It Can Be Ad-
vantageously Used in the Household.
Salt in the whitewash will make it
stick better.
Wash the mica of the stove doors with
salt and vinegar.
Brass work can be kept beautifully
bright by occasionally rubbing with
salt and vinegar.
To clean willow furniture, use salt
and water. Apply it with nail brush
scrub well and dry thoroughly.
If, after having tooth pulled. the
mouth is filed with salt and water, it
it will ally the danger of having hem
orrhage.
Salt as tooth powder is better than
almost any thing that can be bought.
1t keeps the teeth brilliantly white and
the gums hard and rosy.
To wash silk handkerchiefs, soak them
first in cold salt and water for ten
minutes, or longer, then wash out in
the same water and iron Immediately.
Carpets may be greatly frightened
by first sweeping thoroughly and then
going over them with clean cloth and
clear salt and water. Use cupful Of
coarse salt to large basin of water.
Nothing is better for a sore throat
than gargle of salt and water. It
may be used as often as desired, and il
a little is swallowed each time it is used
it will cleanse the throat and ally the
irritation.
Salt, in doses of one to four teaspoon
fuls in half pint to pint of tepid
water, is an emetic always on hand.
This is also the antidote to be used after
poisoning from nitrate OF silver while
waiting for the doctor to come.
If the feet are tender or painful after
long walking or standing, great relief
can be had by bathing them in salt and
water. Ahandful of salt to gallon OF
water is the right proportion. Have the
water as hot as can comfortably be
borne. immense the feet, and throw
the water over the legs as far as the
knees with the hands. When the water
becomes too cool, rub briskly with a
flesh towel. This method, if used night
and morning, will cure neuralgia of the

WELL-FEO BIRDS.

Tho Easy Familiarity of tho Pigeons Of
ST. Marks, Venice.
Within twenty PAGES of st. Marks
on the piazza stands the famous Cam
PAMELA, venerable time-worn tower
more than ten centuries old, still rails
ing its head cloudwards as proudly and
ieiiantly as in those checkered days
long since gone by when it tioated its
lights on the shores of the Adriatic,
and announced to the incoming seamen
and travellers in the offing that they
were in sighting distance of the capital
of the glorious republic of Venice.
Equally old and equally venerable are
the figures of the two majestic lions
crouching near one of the lateral wings
of St. Mark s-their fangs drawn and
.heir faces distigured by the wear and
tear of ages-singularly interesting
looking pieces of sculpture, which are
in themselves so many links that bind
the Venetian decay of the present with
the Venetian splendor and gorgeous
ness of the past. While l was giving
full rein to my fancy on the wonderful
things that could have been seen by
these leonine eyes, if they had only
been living ones, l received tap on
the shoulder. and, turning around, saw
a tall, athletic Hibernian friend CT mine
welding six-sou loaf of bread in one
hand and gesticulating in rather &C.
centric style. To say the least IF it.
thought his conduct slightly irrever-
ent-romping about as he was in such
close proximity to the cathedral. Mr..
H., the Hibernian in question, was,
however, playing his part in little
comedy meant to surprise me. After
attracting the notice of the pigeons on
the piazza, he covered his own shoulders
and mine with fresh white crumbs, and
when, 10! in the twinkling of an eye
the whole square seemed to disappear
from my gaze, and l could see nothing
around me or over me save one whirr-
ing mass of pigeons. They perched on
my hat, fastened themselves to the
panels of my overcoat and clustered
in legion numbers all over my person.
These birds are very tame-the tamest.
1 fancy, in Europe. Tradition and
custom have made them SO, for from
time immemorial the Piazza San Marco
has been their abiding place, and well
tended they have been and are by the
hurghers and DANES of the city. There
must be over thousand of these
pigeons lowering over the piazza.
There is always somebody about throw
ing them their crumbs, or a little
polenta, but if you want to have a
swarm of them swooping down upon
you, you must do as my Hibernian chum
and treat them to what Sam Lover
would style the ''lashins and lawns"

METROPOLITAN LIFE.

New York Women Who Are Compelled to
Perform Unfeminine Labor.
One of the most painful features in
metropolitan life is the degradation OF
women. I do not here refer to any
thing of vicious nature, but simply
to the effect of extreme poverty. 1t is
always pitiable to see the sex forced to
unfeminine employments, but it is a
common thing here. l have seen a
woman cutting grass with sickle in
an uptown lot in order to make hay
for the winter support of goat. l
have seen a woman bring home board
from some demolished building and
then try to break it up for fuel by
pounding it on the sidewalk with a
stone. saw another woman carrying
coal in a pail up three pairs of stairs
to her room in tenement house. She
had bought small load of this article,
and was thus storing it away. A large
part of the chifoniers or rag and
waste-paper pickers are women, and
what horrid-looking creatures they
are!
On the other hand, a dealer in
fashions told me that there are hun
dreds and even thousands of women
who spend $4,000 annually on dress.
1t may be difficult to imagine the feel
ings of this fashion-worshiping crowd,
but how much more to imagine those
of a woman SO degraded that rag
picked from the street is prize. TAX
ing general view, New York life is
not favorable to women. Among the
rich the idleness of luxury wastes it's
victims into helplessness, while among
the poor one notices that dispropor-
tomato degree of hardship which SO
often stamps the countenance with
fearful ugliness. N y. Car. Utica Her.
